| Obverse description | Hammered gold flan bearing a Persian legend in cursive Nastaliq script occupying the central field, arranged in two or three lines with pellet ornaments distributed throughout the field. The inscriptions are characteristic of Mughal-style coinage adopted by the Baroda state, with bold strokes typical of hand-struck issues. The irregular flan edges and uneven relief reflect the hammered production technique. Additional decorative pellets are scattered across the field, a common feature of Baroda gold coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying a scimitar (sword) device alongside an initial or monogram rendered in Devanagari script, serving as the mint or ruler identifier. Pellet ornaments are dispersed across the field in the typical Baroda hammered style. A short Devanagari inscription or initial appears in association with the scimitar device, consistent with the coinage of Sayaji Rao Gaekwad II. The overall design follows the Mughal-derived hammered tradition, with bold, irregular strike characteristic of Baroda quarter mohur issues. |
